5.0 out of 5 stars Works Great
Great price on the receiver. This was a replacement for one that finally wore out. Tivo makes a great product. It arrived in just a few days.

1.0 out of 5 stars DirecTV Customers - Warning
I just learned the hard way that DirecTV no longer is activating older DirecTV Tivo units that don't have an 'RID' number on them. Bought my unit through Migelectronics here on Amazon (the listing for the unit made no mention of RIDs) and when I tried to activate, was informed that only units that have the RID number (sometimes imprinted by the access card slot, sometimes...

1.0 out of 5 stars DirecTV Customers - Warning, November 8, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hughes HDVR2 DIRECTV Series2 Digital Satellite Receiver w/ TiVo Digital Recording & Remote Control (Electronics)
I just learned the hard way that DirecTV no longer is activating older DirecTV Tivo units that don't have an 'RID' number on them. Bought my unit through Migelectronics here on Amazon (the listing for the unit made no mention of RIDs) and when I tried to activate, was informed that only units that have the RID number (sometimes imprinted by the access card slot, sometimes on the back of the unit) will be activated as of July, 2010.

So I have a semi-working DirecTV Tivo unit that can't be activated (pretty useless). If you are thinking of buying a unit through Amazon or eBay, make sure you get the RID number from the seller FIRST and confirm with DirecTV that it will be activated if you buy the unit.

3.0 out of 5 stars Is there an RID number?, May 4, 2011
This review is from: Hughes HDVR2 DIRECTV Series2 Digital Satellite Receiver w/ TiVo Digital Recording & Remote Control (Electronics)
Very frustrating when the product information is incomplete and there is no one to contact. Could the sellers PLEASE specify whether or not the receiver has an RID number?

2.0 out of 5 stars Not satisfied, December 8, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hughes HDVR2 DIRECTV Series2 Digital Satellite Receiver w/ TiVo Digital Recording & Remote Control (Electronics)
It did not include the remote control which is necessary to operate the equipment. It was shown in the picture but did not arrive. I requested expedited shipment but it took a week to arrive.
